Want to enjoy your music anywhere – even in the shower? Then grab a BOOM Urchin and go. This portable speaker features an interchangeable water-resistant silicone cover, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor use. Just stick the Urchin's suction cup mount in your shower stall and you can sing as you soap.

Made for motion

This is one portable system that's designed to go anywhere. The durable Urchin comes with a sturdy brushed metal carabiner, so you can clip it to your bag, backpack, or belt. And there's an included adhesive-backed screw mount, so you can easily attach the Urchin to your car's dashboard.

Bluetooth connectivity for words and music

The Urchin lets you wirelessly stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop or other device. A built-in microphone turns the Urchin into a wireless speakerphone – a handy feature even when you're not in the shower.

Boom goes the dynamite sound

The Urchin might be small, but it packs a sonic punch. The two full-range speakers deliver clean, focused sound with solid bass. And the system uses Bluetooth v2.1+EDR, an advanced form of wireless technology that ensures strong connections and improved signal reception.

Convenient charging

The Urchin's built-in battery lasts up to eight hours of continuous use. And the system's easy to charge. Its USB charging cable can either be connected to its AC power adapter, or plugged directly into your computer.

The Urchin's made for mobility, and is durable enough to work just about anywhere — on a ski slope, at the beach, or on a rock climb. It's got enough volume and punch to be heard in all of those situations. And when you're ready to clean up after your outdoor adventures, the BOOM Urchin can even accompany your singing in the shower.

Great Product

DonS from Charlottesville, VA on 8/5/2014

Purchased the Urchin for use in my boat while fishing. It was easy to sync with my blue tooth device and the sound is great. The battery life is excellent. I can fish all day on a single charge. I highly recommend the Urchin.

Pros:Easy sync to Bluetooth device. Great sound. long battery life. Easy to use.

Boom Urchin

Very easy and rugged. Good battery power. Acceptable sound quality but bass\loudness is average

Pros:Easy to link-Rugged and cool looking. Sound not great but acceptable. Good battery life on a charge

Cons:Not as good sound as BOSE etc but respectable for the money.

Big sound from a small package

Matt from Bridgewater, Virginia on 4/30/2014

I bought this for when my iPad isn't loud enough and it's quite an improvement. Bass isn't earth-shattering but can be improved by mounting it on something hollow. Volume is respectable, given the size, and it plays at maximum without distorting. I use it to listen to podcasts in the shower now. It's water resistant but I still try not to get it wet. It has a threaded insert on the back that accepts a standard 1/4" bolt. You can use that to make a custom stand or put it on a camera tripod. Battery life seems excellent, playing many hours between charges. Overall, I am very happy with the features and performance of the Boom Urchin.

Great Portable Radio

Great portable radio. Connects easily with great range. Great accessories for hanging in shower and cliping onto backpack. Rubber cover protects well on the road and at the beach. Volume is good, but wish it was a bit louder. It does scream in the shower though. I would recommend if you looking for something to take with you, without worrying about it breaking.

Just what I was looking for!

I've been hesitant to spend money on a bluetooth speaker for my Samsung Galaxy 3 because of poor reviews by the tech sites. When I saw the Boom Urchin in the catalog, I knew I could trust Crutchfield. I read some reviews & ordered it, & I'm so glad I did. The sound quality is really great-far beyond my expectations! The price is reasonable, especially with free shipping & no tax from Crutchfield. For me, it's the perfect size, with a silicone skin to protect it and many ways to make it portable- it comes with a carabiner, hooks, & sticky mount. With a ten-hour battery, I can enjoy quality sound everywhere I go now.

Great Speaker

I bought this speaker for my teenage daughter, who swims/coaches on a synchronized swimming team. The girls practice their routines to music both in the water and on the pool deck ... so a durable, watertight speaker is essential. This product fits the bill, and has outstanding sound as well ... much better than the competing $200 bluetooth speaker I use.

a portable concert

The Boom Urchin is an excellent way to listen to your music while on the go. I had some hesitation about ordering a portable bluetooth speaker. The speakers i had heard in the past were small but sounded aweful and were cheaply made. I felt better about the order after i learned that Boom is a company owned by the same company that owns polk audio. When i received it i pulled the packaging out of the box and right away i could tell it was heavier than i had anticipated and when i opened it the speaker was bigger than i thought as well. The speaker isn't too big though, just right in my opinion. The speaker feels very well made and durable. The directions to use it are very simple. I plugged it in and let it charge for about 4 hours and it was good to go. The sound this device puts out is AMAZING!! It simply blows away any other bluetooth speaker of its size. The clarity even when cranked up is very good and the speaker will get very loud. Great mids and highs , even the bass is passable for a unit of this size. Very nice product , a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Goodbye Jambox, Hello Urchin

CL from Durham, NH on 3/8/2013

A year ago I purchased a Jambox and thought I was in paradise. I came across an article reviewing the Urchin online and was intrigued by the water resistant and drop resistant properties of the device. Also I found the different mounts for the shower and carabiner extremely convenient. In the end I decided to pre-order one and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Not only is it more durable and better looking, it sounds better too! For anyone on the go, this is one accessory that you definitely cannot live without!

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what’s in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

I would ask at the apple store. It is my understanding that the inherent nature of bluetooth syncing & porting limits multiple simultaneous connections.
However, you might be able to link a pair of urchins with wire and direct audio to one urchin and thus have two urchins booming. It would be two sound sources bu not stereo.
Also Ask the Crutchfield wizards if anysystem has a single Bluetooth receiver with separate, wireless speakers.
What you ask for is limited by Bluetooth. I will be very surprised if an audiophile or even bose have not solved this.
